Linking Arms

How many identities do you put on every morning? Business owner, mom, wife, student, employee, homemaker... The weight can be so heavy. When we realise that these roles do not define us we walk more confidently in ourselves and in freedom. Join us as we learn ways to walk in our true identity, as chosen children of God.

In the hustle and bustle of our lives, we can often find that we feel overwhelmed by everything on our to-do list. In this episode we explore the ideas to help you slow down and carve out time for yourself. Are you being called to a "new normal" where less is more? Join us as we discover ways to embrace our season and lean into practical ways of finding time to rest.

Self-forgiveness is an important part of our growth. We all stumble at times, and when we do we can often be so hard on ourselves. There are always lessons we can learn from our experiences. Remember it’s a process, and in this episode we go through some of the steps we can take along this path of self-forgiveness.

Many start the year with new year’s resolutions and goals to better their lives. After surviving a most challenging year, let's discover small steps we can take to envision and begin living our best life.

We all set goals for ourselves, and put a lot of pressure on what the success of those looks like. When we shift our perspective and focus on truth, we see that we are more often than not doing our best. With the end in mind and being groundly rooted in our 'why' we can work towards finishing strong!

When we measure progress we sometimes focus on the big achievements, and struggle to see all that we have accomplished. Although this year has been a chalenging one, as it comes to a close, let's take time to reflect and put on our good-finding glasses as we celebrate the wins (big or small) from 2020.

Sometimes we struggle with feeling as if we are not enough. We get caught up in trying to prove ourselves. We strive for perfection especially in the eyes of others. This often leads to us comparing ourselves to others. Our guest shares her experience and talks about how having self awareness that you are stuck in a cycle of comparing or thinking you are not enough is a huge step forward.  We all need to be anchored by the truth of who God says we are.

We all desire to have a joyful home but this doesn't happen automatically. We have to be intentional about creating an environment where joy is a priority. It is evident that the presence of joy is in our lives when it permeates beyond ourselves and impacts our families and all those around us.

Healing is an integral part of our mental and emotional wellbeing. It starts with an awareness of places we need to heal. When we find ourselves stuck in patterns that no longer serve us, deeper healing is necessary. Nadine shares ways to you identify the root of an issue and tools to help you move towards lasting healing.

Have you ever had a life change and needed someone to walk with you and talk you through the challenges you might be facing? Have you ever needed someone to help you move closer towards a major goal? That’s where coaching comes in. As one of our four pillars, our coaching programme offers women in our community the opportunity to have someone walk alongside them as they navigate life.

Our words have power! Whether we realize it or not, what we say can significantly impact our day, our behavior and every aspect of our lives. When we speak, we get to choose to either speak life or criticism. Our guest shares how her words were influencing her closest relationships.

We often underestimate the power of community. It's more than just a group of people who share something in common. Who we choose to be around and who we allow to be a part of our circle is so important. When we are in community we are able to heal and grow. We all need a space where we can be authentic, and have people who pour into us, as much as we pour into them. As Purposeful Living INC community is especially important to us as we work to serve the isolated woman.

Have you felt God nudging you, pushing you to grow in a certain area? In life we have consistent opportunities to grow. It is our choice whether we take advantage of these or not. In this episode we discuss the importance of growth in our lives, and how we need to challenge ourselves in a healthy way in order to see true change.

This season has been unpredictable to say the least, and the future seems uncertain. We have all had to shift our plans and adapt. In this episode I talk about pivoting and how we need to have healthy attachments in order for us to be free and joyful regardless of the circumstances.

In times of uncertainity it's easy to get lost in a sea of negative news. It's hard to know where to look or how to find peace. In this episode, we are simply coming together in prayer. Our hope is that when you find yourselves in a state of loss this provides comfort and connection to God.
